Henry & his first pumpkin patch!

This morning my little family and I took a trip to the pumpkin patch for the annual Pumpkin Festival. I feel really lucky that we have something like so close by- growing up on the East Coast farms and Fall festivities were plentiful, but I didn't really get to experience a lot of it once we moved to the Phoenix area in my teen years. Thankfully up north we have a lot of seasonal fun going on, and we definitely take full advantage!

Today was awesome. We headed out to the farm pretty early and spent a couple hours soaking up all of the Autumn goodness. Henry pet baby goats, horses and sheep, we went on a hayride, walked through a corn maze, and picked a few perfect pumpkins to take home. The weather was gorgeous- sunny and around 60 degrees. It's just crazy how much more fun everything is with Henry. I've always loved visiting the pumpkin patch but now with our little guy it's a million times better. He spent most of the day laughing and smiling, or just looking around with wide eyes, taking it all in. It's easy to see things through his view, and it's pretty much the best thing in the world!

He is too cute! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!! I can't wait to take Alyson this year (she was only 2 months old last year so we didn't go), but it won't be until after the AZ Fair next weekend!

Oh my goodness how I wish we had these kind of festivals over in the UK. Noone here is really interested in fall/Halloween at all, which is such a shame (especially when it's my 2nd favourite holiday!). Until they do I'll happily live out my dreams through your stunning photos :)

Hello there, simply turned into aware of your blog thru Google, and found that it is really informative. I?m gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. A lot of other folks will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
